The most recent Aviation Week and Space Technology (9/8) has the following tidbit in a piece on NASA schedule delays:
"On the robotoic front, the testing schedule for a critical instrument for the Mars Science Laboratory -- dubbed SAM for Sample Analysis at Mars -- may delay launch of the advanced rover from its 2009 planetary window into 2011." -------------------- |

( <snip!> lengthy ramble about the need for flawlessness in s/c, by analogy to information security (Valdis puts it much better than I can, anyway...) )
Thank-you both, that was exactly the info I was wondering about. I didn't mean to trivialise the complexity or difficulty of the endeavour - if it was easy, everyone would be doing it! I was just curious about the details. -------------------- --
